Jay-Z Defends Kanye West

“It’s an awards show. He’s just a superpassionate person.”

He added:

“Of course it was rude, because it was her moment, but that’s the way he really felt. I think it was rude, but the way they’re treating him…He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.I think it’s a bit blown out. It was pretty rude. At the end of the day, we’re gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him. As he grows and matures, he has to balance that.”

The rapper concluded by:

“It just wasn’t appropriate. It wasn’t fair to Taylor. It wasn’t fair to her at all. I don’t think he should lay low. I think he should move on and have a brilliant career.”
